What Happens Between Dashboards and Prometheus?

What Happens Between Dashboards and Prometheus? TL;DR Prometheus gives us visibility into our system, but not into how we use that visibility. prom-analytics-proxy is a lightweight, drop-in proxy that captures PromQL query traffic (from dashboards, alerts, scripts, etc.) and gives you insights like top expressions, query latency, error rates, and usage patterns, all visualized in a built-in UI. It helps you optimize your observability stack, reduce waste, and understand what’s actually being queried in production. 👉 Check it out on GitHub

Think Like a Detective: Using 5w2h to Solve Production Mysteries.

I love the idea behind your build and run it, it’s a great way to ensure the team is accountable for the product they are creating. But, when things go wrong, it’s not always easy to find out what happened, I can relate to the feeling of being lost in the middle of a production incident, and not being able to find the root cause of the problem.
